Summary

A contemporary age-gap romance featuring forbidden attraction and the fake engagement trope with a messy, modern twist—for fans of Elsie Silver and Tessa Bailey.

Next month, Sloane Holbrook is marrying her best friend. Last night, she slept with his father.

Critics Review

Praise for Rules of Engagement:
“Rules of Engagement had me laughing and swooning, and was sexy as hell. It brings all the heat, humor, and swoon-worthy moments I crave in a good romance. And, um … helllooo, Mr. Joel!”
—Kira Archer, USA Today bestselling author of 69 Million Things I Have About You

“Eva Manolo is a fabulous new voice in contemporary romance. Manolo brings the heat and humor in this savor-worthy, age-gap romance that gives new meaning to ‘your dad will do.’ Rules of Engagement will make you yearn for a silver fox of your own. This brand of ‘education’ has never been so fun … or sexy!”
—Lisa Rayne, author of Ice Matched

“Rules of Engagement
by Eva Manalo is that rare mix of high heat and laugh-out-loud humor. Sloane is about to fake-marry her best friend for inheritance purposes only to find she’s accidentally had a one night stand with the groom’s father, the capable, experienced Joel. What follows is deliciously painful yearning as Sloane and Joel try (and fail) to suppress their attraction. Just when you are about to scream in delighted frustration as the tension builds, you are rewarded with the hottest scenes imaginable. This book will make you laugh, blush, and most of all, swoon. Eva Manalo is the new queen of heat!”
—Lindsay Lewis, author of It’s a Business Doing Pleasure With You
